Erica bought 3 1/2 yards of fabric if she uses 2/3 of the fabric how much will she have left?

First, convert 3 1/2 into an improper fraction, which is 7/2. Now, you have to make sure both sides have a common denominator. This will be 6. So now the equation is 21/6 - 4/6. Subtract the numerators, which is 17. Keep the denominator, however. Now, simplify. You new answer will be 2 5/6.

Hello, remember you need to write complete questions in order to get good and exact answers. Here you haven't provided any fractions, so I'll give you my own fractions.

The first fraction is:

$\frac{1}{2}$

The second fraction is:

$\frac{1}{4}$

So let's say that difference is:

$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, the result is:

$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$

The representation of this problem is shown using the number line below. As you can see, we have written both 1/2 and 1/4 and the difference is also indicated giving the result 1/4. That is, if we walk from 1/4 to 1/2 we'll walk 1/4 units.
